Stop 2: Chet’s Dairy Freeze

While growing up in Muskogee, Sarah and her friends often gathered at Chet’s Dairy Freeze. Coburn recalls that as a high school cheerleader, she and the squad posed for a photo on the roof with the owner. “I believe decades of those photos are still on the walls of Chet's,” she says.

Stop 3: Honor Heights Park

Come hang out in Honor Heights Park and experience the vastness and beauty of this Muskogee park just like Sarah used to while growing up. If you tour through in the winter, Sarah recommends stopping by to see the Garden of Lights.

Stop 4: Polo Grill

Once you hit Tulsa, savor a meal at Polo Grill, where Sarah and her husband frequently enjoy dinner. Bite into a Colorado Lamb Rack or Chef Salmon before finishing off the meal with strawberry and white chocolate bread pudding.

Stop 6: Tulsa Performing Arts Center

Take a seat in the Tulsa Performing Arts Center to imagine yourself watching Sarah perform and show off her full operatic timbre in one of her favorite local venues. “I am always so grateful to sing at home!” Sarah says. Catch a live show here while you’re in town.

Stop 7: Oklahoma State University

Head to Stillwater to experience Sarah’s first college town and explore Oklahoma State University’s campus. When she wasn’t practicing or performing, Sarah spent time painting picture frames and gift boxes at the University Spirit shop.

Stop 8: Oklahoma City University
